Claus Von Stauffenberg (Differences between the movie Valkyre and his real life)

Claus Von Stauffenberg was a German army officer and Roman Catholic aristocrat who was one of the leading officers of the failed 20 July plot of 1944 to kill German dictator Adolf Hitler and remove the Nazi Party from power in World War II Germany by making operation Valkyre. He was one of the central figures of the German Resistance movement. He became so important, that people decided to make movies about him, but many of the things that appear in movies, are not really true. So, this will be a comparison between the movie Valkyre, and the real coronel Claus von Stauffenberg. This comparison will tell some of the things that were not really true but people added to the movie for more action. In the movie Valkyre, Coronel Von Stauffenberg was a member of the Nazi Party, but in real life, the coronel Von Stauffenberg was not a member of the Nazi Party although he agreed with some of its nationalistic aspects. Moreover, he remained practicing Catholicism. Also, he disagreed with some things that the Nazis were doing, like killing Jews only because the Nazis didn’t liked them. He thought that Nazi party’s ideologies were repugnant. This made him to try to kill Hitler.

In the movie, people can only see that Von Stauffenberg made only the operation Valkyre. But, in the real life, he made more operations such as the operation Barbarossa. This can be a big difference to people. In real life he made many operations trying to kill Hitler, which means he really wanted to end with the war and he was sure of what he was doing. So he was a good man and he risked his life to end the war. Von Stauffenberg had an accident. While he was in war, he lost his left eye, his right hand, and two of his left hand’s fingers. For rehabilitation, he stood with his family five months. The movie Valkyrie shows that he stood in his house, but only for few days. This can make a big difference of his life,...

Von Neumann architecture marks the beginning modern information system processing. To fully understand why it is so important, we must first consider the purpose of computer programs. We can then fathom the magnitude of this architecture. The von Neumann architecture allows instructions and data to be mixed and stored in the same memory module and the contents of this memory are addressed by location only. This all takes place in a sequential order. The Von Neumann machine had five basic parts comprised of memory, ALU, the program control unit, input equipment & output equipment.
The programs uses a language that to the naked eye can in most cases resemble spoken language. Upper-level languages such as C and Java are designed with this in mind. However, computers understand natural language without signiﬁcant human effort. The physical hardware cannot truly understand language, but instead processes electrical signals.
Computer programs are a list of and data, and are represented as binary strings. We can produce a list of high level requirements that a Central Processing Unit (CPU) could execute. This then leads us to a list of functional units that implement the high-level functionality.
Neumann m/c are called control flow computer because instruction are executed sequentially as controlled by a program counter. To increase the speed, parallel...

1. Under the von Neumann architecture, a program and its data are both stored in memory. It is therefore possible for a program, thinking a memory location holds a piece of data when it actually holds a program instruction, to accidentally (or on purpose) modify itself. What implications does this present to you as a programmer?
Ans: The programmer should taken proper care so that the program doesn’t modify itself when programming. for example if a program location holds an instruction and later a value is added to that instruction it will later show error. It is very difficult to track down as well. The modification of an instruction may also cause the program to crush.
2. What are the limitations of Moore’s Law? Why can’t this law hold forever?
Ans: The limitation is that transistors cannot be made infinitely small, and computer chips cannot be made infinitely large and still accommodate high clock rates.This law cant hold forever because There is no replacement for silicon and computing power cannot go on doubling every two years indefinitely.
3. . Given a (very) tiny computer that has a word size of 6 bits, what are the smallest negative numbers and the largest positive numbers that this computer can represent in each of the following representations?

...Leopold von Ranke lays down a series of critiques against the philosophy of history. He outlines several flaws in the methodology that he believes prevent it from accurately recreating the historical development of ideas, events, etc. To a large degree, Ranke himself avoids the most fundamental of these flaws while himself attempting to relate the history of European politics from Louis XIV through the fall of Napoleon. However, due largely to the complexity and demandingness of the historical discipline, Ranke’s work is itself open to some of his own objections, preventing it from truly gaining a perfect portrayal of the development of the great European powers.
The core objection that Ranke raises against the philosophy of history, which he raises with the most vehemence and frequency, is against the tendency to adopt an a priori perspective rather than an evidence-based one. The philosopher abstractly determines in which direction history ought to be developing, and then looks to historical events to prove that this is indeed the case. For example, Marx’s belief that human history was placed on an inexorable march to the revolt of the proletariat and the collapse of bourgeoisie capitalism, which could cite the rise of Socialist parties, World War One, and the October Revolution as historical evidence of such a trend. Ranke exposes glaring holes in this general methodology.
His primary problem with interpreting history through an a priori lens to fit...

Although Germany ultimately became a powerful nation and yearned for European peace, Otto von Bismarck developed alliance mechanisms and he maintained Germany’s leadership in national affairs, previously Bismarck was fired by William II Germany began a pursuit to expand which angered other European countries, once shot was fired, alliances tightened and the First World War began. Otto von Bismarck’s methods to keep peace in Europe, impacted the power of Germany as a nation. Young Emperor William II dismissed Bismarck which generated the Rival Blocs, separating Europe. Subsequently Serbian revolutionaries assassinated Austria’s heir to the throne, and a war which was suppose to “clear the air” lasts for four years. The many alliances and enemies triggered World War One.
Otto von Bismarck was one of the three most important political figures in Germany, besides Martin Luther and Adolph Hitler. Prior to World War I, Bismark contributed to and maintained Germany as an international power. In order to maintain Germany as an international power, Bismark’s overall first concern was to keep France isolated to prevent any retribution from France. He prevented any military alliance with France. His second concern was that Austria-Hungary and Russia posed a threat to peace. Bismarck’s solution was to keep Russia and Ausrtia-Hungary close to him to try and prevent any conflict. Russia thought the Ottoman Empire were the “sick...

...Baron Von Steubon
Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin Baron von Steuben was his name. He has become an exceptionally respected figure in European and American history. His services offered during the Revolution may be his most celebrated contributions today. Von Steuben played a critical role in training the American troops for battle during the Revolution and set the precedent for military practices today.
It is no mystery that Baron von Steuben’s background and support from family had influenced his many achievements in life. His father, husband of Elizabeth von Jagvodin, was a royal Prussian engineer and he traveled to many exotic places with his son. Steuben was born in the fortress town of Magdeburg (today’s Germany) on September 17, 1730 (Bergen County Historical Society 1). After his adolescent years, he joined the military and was ranked as a captain in the Prussian Army. Furthermore, Baron von Steuben was a prominent drill-master and this proved to be his illustrious forte (Hakim 117).
There were many foreign, but significant events in the life of von Steuben. First of all, he enlisted in the Prussian army as a lance-corporal in 1746 and became ranked as a captain. During the duration of the Seven Years’ War he was appointed a general staff officer and “aide-de-camp” to Frederick the Great in 1761. He was wounded while fulfilling this duty and...

...Wernher von Braun was one of the world’s first rocket engineers. Born in 1912, he grew up with a dream, to “help turn the wheel of time.” Von Braun did just that by creating the V-2 missile/rocket, the Jupiter-C rocket, and the well-known Saturn V space rocket. Considering these ingenious devices created by Wernher, I, myself, would not hesitate to say that he did indeed “help turn the wheel of time.”
On March 23, 1912, Baron Magnus von Braun and Baroness Emmy von Quistorp celebrated the birth of their second son, Wernher von Braun. During Wernher’s early life, he composed a few pieces of music and recycled old automobile parts to build a new car. Regrettably, because he spent so much time on this car, Wernher flunked mathematics and physics.
Wernher apparently passed English class because it was only after reading Hermann Oberth’s Rocket into Planetary Space and receiving a telescope from his mother that Wernher von Braun decided to become a space pioneer and physicist.
Wernher von Braun had some hereditary attributes to help him, some of them are his leadership skills and his ability to encourage and inspire others to follow him. And in 1928, those characteristics led him to organize a team with the objective of building an observatory in their spare time.
Two years later, Wernher enrolled at the Berlin Institute of Technology. He received his bachelor’s...

...The Prussian Baron von Steuben, being a newcomer to the
Revolutionary cause in America, was in a position to see
many of the deficiencies in military discipline and their
causes. The reasons for his unique insight may have been
due to the fact that he was distanced from the revolutionary
ideals in America, and as a result, was able to better observe
and understand them; and ultimately use them to shape his
new and successful form of discipline in the Continental
Army. Most of the commanders of the Continental Army,
from the commander in chief to the lower officers had
subscribed to the traditional European method that relied on
fear to achieve discipline. This method of fear was probably
not essential, and had little if any effect in the early days of
the war because the soldiers were mostly fighting for their
own ideologies. To the soldiers, the commanders were of
little importance. The soldiers were going to fight their own
fight, and leave the battle when they felt it necessary. The
soldier saw himself as a volunteer, a citizen fighting in a
group of citizens, and as a result did not respond well to the
traditional forms of discipline. The soldier knew it wasnÕt
necessary for him to serve, and he knew that he would not
be looked down upon for not serving or leaving the army by
his fellow revolutionaries. He had the freedom to chose how
he wished to serve the revolution, and military service was
not an obligation. One aspect of the...

...Von thunen model links economic concepts with spatial location and accounts for two main aspects of agricultural land use: the intensity of production of a particular crop will decline with distance away from the market and the type of land use will vary with the distance from the market. The locational pattern are as followed:
Von thunen asserted a series of concentric zones ,each with its own characteristic of land use,would be developed around the central city .
Zone 1 is intensive market-gardening and dairying zones.milk and fresh vegetables ,because of demand ,are commodities of high value,and so are produced close to the markets to minimize costs incurred through transporting these perishable products. The cattle in this zone are kept in stall.
Zone 2 is forestry.forest production ,firewood and timber are used for fuels and building materials. They are bulky to transport and are frequently required so they locate in the vicinity of the city.
Zone 3 is crop alternative system .farmer employ six year crop rotation :2 years for rye,the rest given to barley ,potato ,clover and vetch .among these crops ,rye and potato are taken to the market for sale.vetch is used for fodder and it can also help to maintain soil fertility.besides ,soil fertility is increased by manuring and crop rotaion six-fold rotation ,with three cereal crops and no fallow,means that land is 100 percent tilled at any time.cattle are stall-fed in water.
